Allow 3vs3 in TWDD/TWJD?

[Infrared]

add 2v2 league or add 3v3 to twd, either would probably increase activity

although I dont see the 2v2 league lasting unless there is some sort of playoffs and a meaningful ladder. By that I mean that it isn't hidden somewhere in the depths of the trench wars sites like elim/baseelim are.

[Stabwound]

It would be on the TWD site along with BD/JD/DD but it would be more like SD in that there isn't a corresponding TWL league so it's basically just for fun.

why do we even do these polls? we don't do anything after we get a result.

remember that time some guy called witness did a poll on limited roster spots for twd? ya.. NOTHING HAPPENED after

stabwound is actually getting shit done, the kind of twd op we need.

but as for this it's less likely to go through considering it's a huge change.

[curse]

u all are mad stupid. Someone just get shit done to bring bak population for tw ffs. should just add option in twdd of if u want to use 3v3 or 4v4 or 5v5. call it good. that way u arent forcing anyone 2 do anything and u still have options. 2 cents afk. if theres 3,4, or 5 people online 2 play with then everyone wins. gg.

loooooool anyways this 3v3 thread is raping 27 - 18....... that means mpore people want it then not which makes riverside and jones lose. +1 again.

also since polls dont seem 2 matter much i will add on anither +1 from drafts and cres post 2 say mega gg here.

You really are retarded.

you are a self proclaimed 10 year old pubber, don't intertwine yourself within the real business of this zone and instead make a thread about making it easier to use kill macro's after a really rough duel under the bottom safe.

Lol thread winner.

That 2v2 league for fun sounds like a good idea. After all, it can't really hurt anything even if it's not a hit.

I like the 3vs3 idea. But also change league play to 4vs4 then. Or 3vs3. This would allow more squads to enter the leagues.

I thought the same until I realized that a game is made of round and 1 round can be 2v2 and the other 5v5 because of !ap ehhh :/

Can't you just weight it based on the number of rounds and number of players in each round? Not sure if its possible with the bot or just a lot more work for you , but something like this:

So if the whole game was 5v5 you risk/reward full points. A game played at 4v4 for the whole thing would be .8 of max points. If the first round of the game was 4v4 but the 2nd (or part of round 1 and then 2nd and on) it would be 1/2 (or 2/3) of the value between .8 and 1, so it would be .9 (or .933)..aka .4 + .5 = .9 (or for 3 rounds you'd have to average it I guess (.4 + .5 + .5)/3 * 2). In other words, each round played with 1 less player would be worth .1 or .06666 per player less depending on how many rounds the overall game went. The formula would be (1 - x * y) where x is either .1 or 0.6666 depending if the game was won in round 2 or 3, and y is calculated by taking the max number of players possible for a side subtracted by the actual number of players. So a 3v3 game that went 3 rounds would be (1 - 0.066 * 6). A game that went 3v3 then 4v4 then 5v5 would be (1 - 0.066 * 3)...aka .8 since it averages out logically to 3 rounds of 4v4. Naturally there would be some random issues because the 0.6666 is repeating...And now I am rambling about something that was probably obvious 4 sentences ago but its late and I'm using this as a procrastination. Oh well.

?go tourny

[the_paul]

Because tourny runs all the time and it is so popular?

[not in game]

Just a note to consider, 3v3 creates a much more independent style of play. I mean, everyone knows there's (supposedly) a lot more teaming involved in 5v5 than in 4v4, and the decrease in players involved is equivalent to an exponential decrease in teaming.

3v3 becomes more of a match of individual skills than it is about focusing on the teaming that I feel TWL is, at least partially, focused on.

As for activity, this would definitely increase games, but in my opinion, this ultimately becomes a question of quality* or quantity? Of course, smaller maps can help to reduce some of the individual play (I see 3v3 in the current TWDD map as mostly a game of 3 duels going on at the same time), but overall, the concept of teaming is mostly lost.

*yes, this is totally subjective to my perspective of quality; I personally enjoy watching a network of players working together more than the talents of one player.

I have more to say, but I've written enough....

Conversely, make a multi-team league. Basically a deathmatch styled league where it can be 4v4v4v... Would be fun straying people nonstop.
